21 Turbo 21 Turbo Quadra joins Renault 5 stable!

Alpine A610 Turbo also going well - although it had a big problem recently caused by a thin film of oil in the distributor cap. Cue loads of backfiring, sounding like gunfire! Lots of fun but unpopular with the whole town...

See I told you it was the cap, all those experts on RAOC

I have a cossie style one here from Amrits car, hes upgraded to a tubular manifold and GT2860. I'm sure he'd sell the whole Turbo, it wont be any use to him now.

Hmm - might well be interested in that then. Got one or two other options to think about so might as well throw this in the mix!
@am21t Would you be interested in getting rid of the cossie turbo and your old manifold? If so, how much?

Hi. Speak to Dave.

Back to you @DaveL485
What's a fair price for the Cossie turbo and manifold?

Sorry @r5gordini for the thread hijack!

Ill drop you a message on FB over the weekend with pics. I need to look at the condition of manifold and housings and stuff and make sure there arent any surprises. I believe its a .55 cossie turbine housing though and theyre quite desirable, apparently!

It is a .55 exhaust housing, also 360 bearing and a staggered gap oil seal and I'm sure its a .60 front end

Further thread hijack... yeah I asked in two places to get a T3 refurbed, both telling me that no parts are available any more. Cossie have T25 and T3? So yes, a working one in good condition should be desirable

Hot side housing is cracked an apparently, the 2 Companies i asked can not get the parts. Looking into a gt2860 now, should be a good replacement, although it needs some work on the downpipe and a remap.

I hope so

I do not really understand why they told me in both companies that the parts are not available... maybe not from their provider, but seems like everything is there... Thanx!

Guess what.

21 Turbo - Oops I did it again....

Doh. Look what ended up back in Coventry. Stashed in my mates garage for a couple of weeks until we get it running again and I have space at my house!

I guess this draws this thread to a close, with the start of a new one!
